TJ error

From a PK Blue kick to touch. Red reaches into touch and catches the ball. Touch judge (not an AR) puts up the flag. Red protests that he had both feet in the FOP.
Your view is from 30m and somewhat obscured by Red players. You ask the TJ: "Was either foot in touch?" and the TJ replies: "No, Sir, his feet were not in touch but the ball crossed the line".

Re: TJ error

20.4.d
(d) Scrum after any other stoppage. After any other stoppage or irregularity not covered by Law, the team that was moving forward before the stoppage throws in the ball. If neither team was moving forward, the attacking team throws in the ball

who was moving forward?

- blue kicked it (presumably forward) so arguably they were moving forward.
- but I think it would be lacking in empathy to give a blue scrum

At the moment play was wrongly stopped by the TJ, red had the ball, so I'd give scrum to red, 5m in
